As the road climbs the range, on the eastern side of Maleny lies our Bald Knob apiary site. Ideally located to be sheltered from the buffeting prevailing south-westerly winds, this site is one of our best-performing sites. The Blue Gums that proliferate in this area have proved to be outstanding resources to our colonies. The site also has a small grove of wattle and Japanese sunflower, which provide a high-protein diet for the spring build-up.
